[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Rhadamanthus:
I don't pretend to have been following Ubuntu Mobile much because, to be honest, it doesn't strike me as very interesting. But for those interested, there's a bit of good news.

Amusingly enough, it looks as though Ubuntu mobile is mostly CyanogenMod, minus Java, and with Ubuntu running on top of it. So, we're talking about an Android kernel and Android's graphics, sound and telephony stacks. Presumably they did that precisely because it makes porting relatively simple. Have a look at their porting guide or even just the names in this git page to see that we're definitely on familiar ground. So if anyone wants to give it a shot, it shouldn't be too hard to get it to boot. Hardware support might require a bit of adaptation from someone skilled. Or, indeed, it might not. It depends just how much this is what it seems to be (i.e., mostly Android).

Honestly, though, Ubuntu Mobile itself looks pretty buggy - and I say that just from reading the caveats they themselves mention. I might be inclined to say to wait a bit before doing any real work.

Ubuntu mobile looks interesting but i think we can let the Nexus' have it at this stage.

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] lordmuggins:
Hi all,

Long story short, I accidentally bought a Kindle Fire HD 7. I was hoping to root it but I've had nothing but difficulty. Can anyone help me with the things below? ** Please don't reply if you can't - the disorder and unmoderation of this forum is part of the confusion problem **

- The apps that are given on this site mostly don't work for 7.2.3. Is this an issue with the version?

- I kept getting permission denied errors. Nothing that pushes over, pushes successfully - yet it says it does

- When I finally got something "rooted", my status bar and home bar (at the bottom) are all gone. I can pretty much do nothing with it

- I can't figure out how to restore. I can get into FastBoot mode fairly easily, but when I try to do anything I get "waiting on device" errors. Any ideas?

- I'm a Mac guy, but running Windows 7 to do this. I've tried various versions of drivers posted on the board, but W7 is just a PITA to work with. When it goes into Fastboot, it comes up as an "unrecognized device" in Device Manager. Would this be part of the problem? I've tried to associate drivers with the unknown device, but it keeps saying the driver it has is the best (even though I've removed it).

And while I admit, an emotional rant after spending way too long having to do the above..:

- This forum is a complete mess.. can people with KF HD 8.9's get out of the forum and quit replying or giving advice on the wrong device? Mods, please shut down or move KFHD 8.9 posts. For people trying to find out info, it's seriously a mess.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] lacoursiere18:
Ok what is the state of your KFHD? 7"? I would try to use this toolhttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1951254 to restore your kindle and getting back to a working state. If you have any questions post them in here or that forum and I will try to guide you through anything. You should not try to use an automated root tool if it isn't for your specified version(7" 7.2.3) and using a automated tool, I think personally, is just not good in general. What does the device manager specifically say when you are in fastboot? It shoulde look like this:
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] lordmuggins:
Thanks for getting back to me. I have indeed also tried that, but I encounter the Fastboot problem mentioned above. I can get it into FB mode fine, but when I go to do anything, it gets stuck at "waiting for device". I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong?

I'm using Windows 7 (gah)... just for the purpose of this. Believe me, it reminds me why I've left Windows looonngg ago :)

PS All automated tools were specific to my model and version #.. i wouldn't do otherwise.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] lordmuggins:
And I forgot to say, it shows the yellow triangle warning signs.

I have however installed all the right drivers that I got on various places on the forums. Any ideas why it's doing that? (USB debugging/ADB is enabled of course)
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] lacoursiere18:
Try to reinstall the appropriate drivers.. first uninstall the ones you have now then reinstall.. if you have the yellow triangle in device manager the drivers are not installed correctly
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] lordmuggins:
I've tried that.. not sure what I need to do now. (I hate Windows)

The drivers appear fine when not in Fastboot (ie regular ADB) just not when in Fastboot
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] lacoursiere18:
You do know that ADB and Fastboot are different.. Correct? They are two different cmd lines to execite comds to your kindle..does your kindle boot? What is its state? what are you seeing or does it even run at all>
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] lordmuggins:
I thought I made this clear in other posts, sorry

My Kindle boots fine normally, but in my attempts to root it, it's screwed something up (my menubar doesn't appear). I wished to restore it using the tool above.

I can get it into Fastboot, but I can't actually perform any actions due to it saying "waiting for device". Most ADB functionality works fine, i.e. to push apps. But I also can't get it rooted.

My issue is that when it is in Fastboot...not when it's not. That is what I'm trying to figure out.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] lacoursiere18:
Have you tried Kindle Fire First Aide tool and the restore option of you version?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] lordmuggins:
Yes, I have.

And my issue remains - when in Fastboot mode, it also gets stuck on "waiting for device".

When normal boot, ADB functions are fine. It communicates.. things happen

When in fastboot (I have a WordArt looking 'fastboot' logo on the screen) then nothing appears to communicate, and my Device Manager claims it has an "Unknown Device" that it wont let me manually install drivers for.

Windows 7 is x64 if that makes a difference
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] lacoursiere18:
Try a factory reset on the device and if that doesn't work go to Chris's thread, KFFirstAide and post your problems that you having with the software. He will help you figure out if something is wrong with your device or its the software. I would think its user related, in the nicest way possible. A lot of times we get are selves all worked up over this stuff and forget to specific steps, I am guilty as well. Maybe take a step back for a few hours and then give it another shot.. Sorry I couldnt help more but I currently don't have my KFHD bc I just got a new one shipped to me and still waiting for it to arrive.. If i had my device in front of me I would probably be able to find you a solution.. Its been three weeks since I have seen a Kindle and my memory is vanishing
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] lordmuggins:
How do you propose I do a factory reset?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] lacoursiere18:
right.. menubar is gone.. how the F did that happen.. I don't get all these people having so much problem with rooting their devices and $hit disappearing.. Can you download soft keys? I don't remember if you need to be rooted or not too..
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] lordmuggins:
If I knew the answer to that question, I wouldn't be here. I do not see how I can download soft keys.. unless they're in the Amazon store?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] lacoursiere18:
Hey man just trying to help you.. I'm not the one with the problem, although I am making my problem bc I am trying to help. Go over to either thread KFFirstAide or KFHD system.img resotre tool and post your problem.. good luck
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] lordmuggins:
So I got it restored; I had to execute the app open in adb to get into Settings. Still can't figure out how to get the Win 7 to recognize it in Fastboot mode.. I just get "waiting for device"
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] conalt:
Do you mean you get that when you select the option to reboot into fastboot mode, or that you are already on the fastboot screen but nothing is happening?

I had the exact same issue with missing status bar and softkeys, cazy annoying. So hopefully I can remember exactly what I did, depending on your answer to my question though :)
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] lordmuggins:
In regular mode, I had missing status bar and softkeys. I restored factory settings (by using adb to get into the settings screen). They are now back.

Now, I have it rooted (well, I have Superuser loaded at least and it appears to be working)... but that is all. It still feels half-done to me.

With the FirstAide tool I'm getting into Fastboot and then I was going to use it to restore it using the Restore Tool here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1951254

But it doesn't work.. I can load into the Fastboot screen (wordart logo) but it doesn't connect to the device... I just get "waiting for device" and that's where it stops. The WIndows 7 PC I'm using just says that an unknown device has connected and leaves it there.

Ideally, I wish to load Google Play etc, but I can't do that using the First Aide tool. It throws a lot of permission denied errors at me.. reboots several times, says it has been successful but none of the apps are there.

Ideas? I feel like I'm getting closer... perhaps..!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] conalt:
Have you tried running a app that needs root and seeing if the "grant permission" window pops up when you run it. There is a root checker app that you could install from the Noobs Guide to rooting, which should do the trick. SUChecker.apk http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2069117

If you have managed to get the UI bars back, how come you want to use the restore tool to reset the whole kindle?

If you root is working fine, and you want to install google play then follow the Alternative Manual Install from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2069329 instead of using the first aide tool, which seems to be giving a few issues at the moment.

Another random solution is make sure you are using a usb2 port instead of a usb3 port(if you have one)

I had some problems with MKV, file explorer crashed when I tried to copy them onto Tablet or Phone. In "Details" of the error message I could see which program caused the crash, in my case it was .flv player.... deinstalling and it was okay.
[HTC One X+] Phoenix09:
Works fine here

are you using XP?
[HTC One X+] matthiaswtf6:
why would you need .mkv video files on your phone? sure, the quality is amzing but if you'd convert them into .avi or .mp4 you wouldn't be able to see much differences and will save pretty much space..
[HTC One X+] Phoenix09:
mkv is a container, not a format

It can contain the same formats as mp4 and avi.

either way, if you install the proper HTC drivers it should work
[HTC One X+] anyen:
Well my problem is I got mkv file 400 mb...when I convert to avi... it is bigger 1.4 gb....so it kind of waste storage....I gb different

SGA2 EUR PIT File (This is different from the ones in XDA) - View attachment 1751512

[Galaxy Ace II General] Dr01nE:
What's the point of this thread? I do not think it is in any way useful.
[Galaxy Ace II General] MinoochX:
I have searched for both these files wholeheatedly for an hour. Trust me Its useful
[Galaxy Ace II General] Dr01nE:
You make me laugh, they're already on the forums. The Jelly Bean PIT File is already inside the ROM Package

The Gingerbread PIT File is on the JB to GB revert thread. Tell me then, is this still useful?

"Clutter, Clutter, Clutter - EVERYWHERE!"
[Galaxy Ace II General] MinoochX:
Hotfile Mirror does not contain the PIT. If i did wrongly tell me. This is a different PIT file. Take note of the file name.
[Galaxy Ace II General] Dr01nE:
The original link has the PIT file inside the package. Nobody is too stupid to flash Jelly Bean without a PIT File.

How do think we flashed JB?And what about the file name, I doesn't even matter.. the PIT file for leaked JB is again,

already inside the ROM package.. the 7-part XXMB2 download extracts - PDA & CSC files for JB, PIT File for JB, and Odin too.
[Galaxy Ace II General] MinoochX:
This is for safety. Once beaten twice shy. Im scared people will end up like me. I got it hard bricked before. Make sure ;)
[Galaxy Ace II General] Dr01nE:
Well whatever.
[Galaxy Ace II General] szucsi1996:
I tried but I did not notice a change......
[Galaxy Ace II General] Dr01nE:
Yeah. This guy is just adding more clutter in this forum. I dont really mean to be rude but if only people actually READ then nobody would be creating pointless threads. As far as I know, the only people who had problems with PIT were HK I8160 and I8160L owners.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4988456:
Have you formatted system, data, cache partitions? I had similar problem with flashing a stock based rom because of such a stupid mistake.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
Formatting /system on locked bootloader is the stupidest thing to do (I guess). You basically delete the Recovery and get in trouble.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4988456:
You guessed wrong because some stock based roms require system partition to be formatted and not doing this caused some serious problems for me also flashing back to stock with flashtool is like pushing one button and then waiting for 5 minutes for flashing to complete so I don't see a problem here.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingsaber:

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4988456:
I think I see a cause of your problems now... your rom is .431 but two of these roms base on .587 firmware and third one requires a custom kernel so try again with .587 kernel and report if this helped.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingsaber:
So please can you tell me the correct sequence to put custom rom....?

1st install kernel and then rom or or install the rom and then kernel?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4988456:
It would be the best if you could unlock your bootloader but if you can't or don't want to then:

Download and flash this https://www.dropbox.com/s/957gfo1kaf7pefe/LT18i_4.1.B.0.587_(1254-2716).ftf (its stock untouched .587 ftf for arc s that I've used many times)

Root then install CWM with x-parts

Reboot to CWM format data cache system and dalvik cache

Install your rom

Reboot

And remember that you can use only stock based roms so racing bean wont work.

i have an lt30p with 4.0.4 stock kernal and auto call recorder works just fine with the downlink audio source but when i bought an other device with the same rom and kernal it wont record from the downlink source and i tried every thing it just records the first 4 seconds clearly and then go to noise and hissy sound and i tried totall recall and callrecorder with alsa mixer tried cm10 and miui and pandroid i tried practicly every rom and i couldnt recored the downlink sound only and i replaces the lib/hw/*.so files and still the same so any advice i would b apretiated .

Hi xda!

Well I'm gonna tell you my problem, recently I had a problem with SIM-lector so I have to send the mobile to the Technical Service, but I had Zeus Rom, so I wanna put it into a stock one, the problem is that I don't have SW Mode, when I start the phone holding vol + it started in recovery mode, not in SW mode, and the pc (with drivers installed yes, I reinstalled them, tried in a different computer, etc) does not recognize the device, so I tried to unroot the phone via app (gingerbreak) and as a result I got that my phone is still rooted and when I start the phone holding vol + it does not go to the recovery mode or SW mode it simply starts the kernel normally, I can enter into CWM (recovery mode) by app Quickboot and it restarts in recovery mode, but I can not enter in SW mode so I can not use SmartFlash Tool or KDZ to downgrade and unroot the phone :S

So I ask for a method to recover the SW mode. Please I'm desesperated I tried everything. :S
[LG Optimus Black] dcop7:
You are doing it wrong.

Try to press "vol +" and connect the usb to the PC. Don't press the volume button!
[LG Optimus Black] santi_jonh:
Thanks!
[LG Optimus Black] dcop7:
You want to enter the SW update,right? The process is to turn off the device, press the "volume +" and connect the usb cable.

When you said "when I started the phone", I assumed that you turn on the device. And no one said you are stupid.
